On a sunny afternoon in the town of Arrow, with many native visitors, a native, his wife, and child were visiting a local market when suddenly they were confronted by three Cowboys. Very shady looking. The husband was named Tonto. The Cowboys' names were Jack, Jake, and Roy.
"Well, look at what we have here," said Jack as he walked up to the natives.
"Why don't they go back to where they came from?" said Roy as they approached.
"The West has prided itself as a Christian territory. We don't want your kind or you dirty pagans here," said Jack.
"What do you have in the bag?" said Jake.
"Here, please take my bag," said Tonto. "We have come peacefully. Take my bag. Just please don't hurt my family," said Tonto as he handed the men his bag.
The men began to laugh.
"Oh, the little pagan is worried about his family," said Jake.
An older looking man came out. A pastor named Tim.
"You call yourselves Christians? You're no Christians," said Pastor Tim.
"Who does this old geezer think he is?" said Roy.
"I heard every word that was said today. I realize a majority of natives are from a different religion. I believe Jesus is the only way to God and not one native will go to heaven without Jesus, but you have no right to talk to people like that. You're not a true Christian. Jesus said by their fruits you will know them, and if you don't repent you're going to the same place as them. You're full of hate," said Pastor Tim.
The three men began to laugh. The three men pulled out guns and aimed them at the Pastor and the natives.
"And all four of you are about to be in the same place together. Both the pagans and the man who thinks he's super Christian," said Jake.

But before he could pull the trigger, a man with black hair and a man with brown hair suddenly appeared. They were Cowboys that were wearing badges.
"Oh, would you look at that? The Marshals have arrived. More fun to do," said Roy.
"What is the commotion here? Drop your weapons immediately," said the Cowboy with brown hair.
"I recognize those men," said Pastor Tim to Tonto. "That's Sheriff Maverick and his lieutenant Coyote. Sheriff Maverick has a reputation as the best Sheriff in the whole county. He's sent thousands of outlaws to prison. I don't know what he's doing in a small town like this."
"Are you alright?" asked Pastor Tim to the natives.
"Yes, we are fine," said Tonto.
"I'm not dropping anything and I don't like Marshals," said Roy.
The three men fired at the Marshals, but the Marshals quickly dodged. A very bright light appeared out of the Marshals' bodies. Coyote threw a punch at Jack, but Jack dodged it. It put a large hole in the ground. Lieutenant Coyote threw a blast at Jack but missed.
"So you're superhuman Marshals. We are also superhumans too. You thought we were weakling pushovers, didn't you?" said Jack.
The three men powered up with light blue like the Marshals. They began to attack the Marshals, throwing blasts and punches at them, but they missed. They pulled out their guns and began shooting blasts and bullets at the Marshals but still missed. Coyote fired his gun at Roy and injured him. This was no ordinary gun. It had power to harm superhumans. Superhumans have high durability and he was shot in a non-vital area, so he was still alive.
Jake and Jack continued to attack. Jake engaged with Coyote in hand-to-hand combat, but Coyote quickly overwhelmed Jake with punches and kicks. Jake was sent flying straight through a building. Coyote threw a massive energy blast at Jake.
"This is called the Coyote Kamikaze," said Coyote as he threw it. Jake was left unconscious on the ground and put in handcuffs.
Meanwhile, Jack and Maverick engaged in hand-to-hand combat, but Jack was no match for Maverick's incredible power and was hit with several punches and kicks and went flying through another structure. He threw a massive blast at Jack called Cowboy Crush at Jack and severely injured him. They were put in handcuffs.
"You three are going to jail after we get you treatment. I never want to see any of you out here again," said Sheriff Maverick.
"It was a pleasure to meet you, Sheriff Maverick. Thank you for the good work you do in keeping our community safe," said Pastor Tim.
"Don't mention it. I'm just doing my job," said Sheriff Maverick with a smile as he escorted the men away in handcuffs. No civilians were harmed during the fight.

"I apologize about those men. I hope you understand they in no way represent our faith or our religion. I would like to encourage you to follow Jesus for your salvation because He's the only way you can get to heaven, but no true Christian would ever harm anyone. I have gotten you something to eat," said Pastor Tim as he gave them a plate of chicken, corn, and potatoes.
"You are welcome to visit our Church anytime to learn our beliefs if you're ever so interested."
"I appreciate the food. It is kind of you. I just don't understand why every time I come to visit this town I'm met with so much antagonism with Cowboys and people who claim to be Christian," said Tonto.
"There's no easy way to answer that question. I just know that Jesus Himself said that not everyone who claims to follow Him is truly following Him. Jesus said many would say to Him Lord, Lord on Judgment Day and He will say depart from Me, I never knew you," said Pastor Tim.
"I understand," said Tonto as he walked away with his family.
"I think Christians are very good people. I know every professing religion has murderers and terrorists. Ours has some too. Perhaps one day I will visit your Church and try to learn your religion, but for now I am a native and I worship the gods of nature. I must return to my home now in the North Tribe. Thank you, Pastor," said Tonto.
"That is your free will choice. You're free to walk away and do as you please, but remember it is never a wise thing to put off salvation. But our Church doors will always be open," said Pastor Tim with a smile.
Tonto smiled in return and left the town with his family.

Meanwhile, on a prairie, a young man, 18-year-old Billy, rode a horse on a prairie in laughter and joy. He jumped around everywhere while cattle began running everywhere. He took a rope and rounded up several cattle.
"Yee-haw!" Billy shrieked.
A large bull began charging straight at him, but he held the bull by his horns and stopped it right in its tracks. He lifted up the bull directly off the ground.
"You need to calm down!" said Billy to the bull. He put the bull down.
"Behave," said Billy. The bull went away.
Billy is a young man with boots, a brown shirt and jeans, and a brown cowboy hat.
"Billy, it's time for dinner," said a beautiful 42-year-old woman with brown hair. Her name is Willa. She is Billy's mother.
"I'm coming, Mom," said Billy.
"Tonight we're having pinto beans, biscuits, and bacon," said Willa.
"Yum, my favorite!" said Billy with a smile.
They sat at the table and did a prayer.
"Lord, thank you for this food and this blessed day in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ," said Billy as they ate.
"This week is your big week. I just wanted to talk to you about this and ask if you're sure you've prayed long enough to know this is the right decision about joining the Marshal academy in Westville County," said Willa.
"Yes, Mom. I've prayed about this many years and right now I feel this is God's will for my life right now," said Billy.
"I know you're very strong. You're the strongest person that I know, but I still don't like the idea of you fighting outlaws and dangerous criminals. I just don't want to see you get hurt, but you're eighteen now and you're old enough to make your own decisions, and I fully support your decisions, but you'll still always be my baby. Take care of yourself, okay? I don't know what I would do if I lose you like I lost your dad," said Willa.
"We don't know what happened to Dad. He might still be alive," said Billy.
"Your dad was a Marshal. He was called to a mission and he never came back. Nobody knows where he is. We don't know if he was killed, kidnapped, or just left, but I doubt he's alive," said Willa.
"Do not worry, Mom. I'll be alright. I trust the Lord to take care of me," said Billy with a confident smile. He put his arm around her.
"I know you want me to be well because I'm your son, but Jesus commands us not to worry. Have faith in God. Everything will be okay. I know what I'm doing," said Billy.
At night, he stayed in long prayer and study in the scriptures. He prayed about God's will. He read a verse that said "When I became a man, I put away childish things," 1 Corinthians 13:11.

Meanwhile, in a nearby country across the West called Northern Heights, a country predominantly inhabited by natives, a bald native sat up on a mountain with intense training. Out of him came a blue light and an incredible surge of energy that contained so much power and force that it caused the mountains and trees to shake. He threw massive energy blasts and used his arrows as target practice. His name is Moonlight. He is the eldest son of the Chief of the North Tribe. He is the strongest native in all of Northern Heights. He is 19.
As he trained, a young boy began running towards him.
"Dear brother," said the boy.
"Element," said Moonlight.
It was Moonlight's twelve-year-old brother, Element. They hugged.
"Why are you here, dear brother? I'm training," said Moonlight.
"You're always too busy training and never spend time with family or play with me," said Element.
"There is no time to play when our home country has been taken over by disgusting cowboy parasites who stole our land and they drove us out of our own land. We are in a war that must be prepared for," said Moonlight.
"Why do you refer to them as such horrible words? Not everyone of them is bad. Many of our people still live in that country and the West is actively working with our country to make peace negotiations. Our dad is making negotiations with them and considers them our allies. The natives in that country live in freedom. The history between our people happened over a hundred years ago. We want to move on from the past and reconcile," said Element.
"I don't agree with Dad's decision to do this. They're genocidal murderers that live in a country off the blood of our people. Even to this day they still antagonize the natives. We must bring our country back to us. We must destroy the Cowboys. You're just too young to understand this," said Moonlight.
"If Dad wants to be foolish and support those genocidal monsters, that's his choice, but I will have nothing to do with this," said Moonlight.
"There's one more thing I needed to tell you," said Element.
"What is it, Element?" asked Moonlight.
"It's just that I wanted to tell you that I planned to visit the West. I thought it was interesting because a majority of our people still live there and they have artifacts that are of very high value," said Element.
Moonlight looked in rage.
"I told you to stay out of the West!" said Moonlight. "It's dangerous. You can be killed," said Moonlight.
"I'm going with other natives and Dad supports my decision," said Element.
"You disappoint the nature gods by visiting these filthy cowboy Christian colonizers. I hope the gods open your eyes," said Moonlight.
Suddenly, a large creature came out and attacked Element, but Moonlight took out a large arrow glowing with light and shot it at the creature, killing the creature instantly.

The next day, Billy rode to Arrowtown on his horse and went to Pastor Tim's Church called Holiness Rider Church. They studied God's word together and prayed together. After service was over, Billy and Pastor Tim had a conversation.
"So you encountered outlaws? I'm glad you didn't get hurt," said Billy.
"I met with Sheriff Maverick and Lieutenant Coyote," said Pastor Tim.
Billy looked in shock.
"Sheriff Maverick was here?" said Billy.
"Yes. I don't know why he was in Arrowtown, but I was told he patrols the town on occasion. Usually they have meetings there when they discuss important matters related to the native-Cowboy conflict as well as important matters in the county," said Pastor Tim.
"I'm going to be trying out in his academy in a couple days to try to become a Marshal. I pray that it works out. God has given me a strong desire and conviction to be a Marshal, and this is what I feel is what my God-given duty is," said Billy.
"You have to do whatever God has called you to do. You have a God-given strength and I know you have the power and ability to do this job. Go wherever God leads you and you can make a difference in the West. These are dark times," said Pastor Tim.
Billy put on his brown cowboy hat and began walking out of the Church.
"I'm going to do everything I can to advance God's kingdom and I'm going to try to fix the West through God's glory," said Billy with a confident smile.
Pastor Tim smiled. He looked over at a cowgirl with long brown hair and cowboy boots named Jolene, who is Billy's longtime friend.
"He is determined to do this job. I think he'll get it and be very good," said Tim.
Jolene smiled.
"I'm happy for him. I think he'll get the job," said Jolene.
As Billy got on his horse, Jolene stopped him.
"Hey, Billy. I just wanted to tell you I pray everything goes well with you at the academy. Take care of yourself, okay?" said Jolene.
Billy looked at her with a smile.
"Thanks, Jolene."
Billy traveled to a nearby market with shiny golden crystals. Billy looked at it in amazement.
"Wow! That looks cool. It kind of reminds me of a gift my mom gave me a long time ago," said Billy.
The Spanish lady named Pam that worked there looked over at him.
"What's your gift?" said Pam.
Billy pulled out a shiny blue crystal. Pam looked astonished.
"I don't know exactly what this is, but I was told it can be used as a bullet and I can load my gun with it," said Billy.
"Do you realize what this is? It's dangerous. It's an element crystal," said Pam.
"An element what?" asked Billy.
"Crystal. It's not just a crystal. It's an advanced device of incredible power. It can harness and manipulate the elements of nature. When all of the crystals are collected, they become four orbs that can cause massive worldwide destruction," said Pam.
"What? I've never heard of that before. That sounds crazy. How can they manipulate nature?" asked Billy.
"It is highly advanced technology that has magnetic and engineered properties that contains enough power to manipulate the elements," said Pam.
"I'm not really sure I believe that. That sounds insane," said Billy.
"It's true. Outlaws all across the West are desperately searching for these devices. They covet its raw power to take control of the West," said Pam.
Billy looked amazed.
"I do not advise you show anyone this device. It can cause a panic all throughout the town and you may be targeted by outlaws," said Pam.
Billy put the crystal away. He had to think deeply about outlaws going after this. He was curious and wanted to learn more. He walked out.
"Thanks for your time, ma'am. I have to go now," said Billy as he walked out.
